That's less than 3%/year which seems not so bad considering how so many things were up the past few years.

Considering that the Fed targets 2%/yr that sounds nearly reasonable.
Not so bad!?! If my house value plummeted 30% in nine years that would make me furious.
The “real” value of goods doesn’t change just because the value of currency changes. You’d be much more upset at 30% deflation, which is why there are inflation targets.
Only if your own investments and income went up proportionally.
